Baseball season.....again!

Well, this year the boys weren't too excited to play ball. Not sure why. We also missed the sign up date. So, Craig & I decided NOT to sign them up & skip it this year. Well, a few weeks ago, we got a phone call & it was the league manager. He said they were really short on players & would waive the late fee if we signed the boys up. So, Craig gets off the phone & says 'They're all signed up!" I was like, ummmm...... WE decided NOT to sign them up! He went on to say how they needed the players, took the late fee off, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. LOL I wasn't too happy. Then he tells me that he's also coaching Matt's team! I wasn't happy AT ALL now! He really doesn't have time for this. UGH! Then he tells me they are on 3 different teams! Now I was ticked! Men.

Anyway, it all worked out (just like everything always does) Adam & Eric were able to play on the same team & grandma & grandpa offered to help transport to & from games & practices. Their coach also offiered rides for them too. I got the game schedule yesterday & started filling out our calendar. Adam & Eric play Mon, Wed, Fri. & Matt plays on Tues & Thurs. ! Yikes! Some weeks we have 5 games to go to. So, Adam & Eric had their first game yesterday. Matt & Craig had practice. The coach took the boys to the game, I was supposed to pick them up. I sat in the car in our driveway, ready to go to the game & it was pouring! I sat their for 5 or 10 minutes wondering what to do. If I went & they called the game off, the coach would bring them home & I would be on my way there & miss them. (It was an away game.) So, I came inside. Craig & Matt came home soon after, because of the rain too. The rain died down, so we decided to head to the game together.

I was surprised they played in the rain. I am a whimp. I don't like getting wet unless I'm in the shower or swimming (where you're supposed to get wet). Anyway, the boys did pretty good. Eric scored 2 runs. Adam played 1st base & did really well. A BIG thank you to grandma who took Emily to her house to play. She would have been miserable at the game. She called grandma before the game & said '"Can you come get me? It's probably gonna rain at the game." I thought it was cute. What 3 year old really says 'probably' & knows when to use it? Cutie! We picked her up at grandmas after the game & the boys & I waited in the car. Craig carried her to the car & as they were walking to the car Adam said 'she's a pretty cute little sister'. I thought it was sweet! I really DO have great kids.

Now, I can definately say, I really don't like baseball season, but I'll put up with it for the boys. Just this year. LOL

AND IT JUST STARTED!

Every year they have an Opening Day parade for baseball. Adam & Eric were on a Boy Scout Campout, so only Matt got to be in the parade this year.
